Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus' household.
Salute Apelles approved, х ton (G3588) dokimon (G1384)] - 'the approved one,'
In Christ - or, as we should say, 'that tried Christian'-a noble commendation.
Salute them which are of Aristobulus' [household]. It would seem, from what is said of Narcissus in the following verse, that this Aristobulus himself had not been a Christian, but that the Christians of his household simply were meant; very possibly some of his slaves.
